Default EK-K20 Throttle Cable ?

Hey guys, I have had my swap in for a little while now and I still haven't gotten a chance to find the correct and exact throttle cable for my swap.

Maybe some else can give me some help. I started off using the DC5(USDMRSX) one but that was insanely too long. Then I got the GSR one and it was too short.

Now I have the EP3 one but I have a little spacer on the pedal cuz there is too much slack.

Which is the correct throttle cable for this swap ? (or is there none)

DC5 Throttle cable :



EP3 Throttle Cable :



John EK's CX throttle cable I think :



And Danny's : I dunno what he is using :

it was my understanding that you use a 96+ DX hatch cable for jdm k20a (type r) swaps & ep3 throttle cable for (usdm) k20a2 swaps

which swap do you have?

how come we haven't seen your K20 powered ek on here ?

Was there any slack using the DC5 cable, or is it just the cosmetic aspect?

Haha. That's what i meant. I just wanted to know if it did not function correctly, or if you just didn't like the way it looked.

I'm using the DC5 cable in my EH2. It does look like crap, but there is no slack.
